UNPROTECTED Passengers.

Train robbers operate almost exclu.
sively in Missouri and Texas. II is very
seldom that train is robbed in any other
State. Only few days ago a train was
robbed in Missouri. Two of the robbers
took charge OF the locomotive and kept
the engineer and tranmen quiet while
our others went through thu train and
robbed the passengers. About $4,000
was obtained. In our dispatches yester-
day an account was given OF the robbery
OF a safe at the depot in Redmond, Tex
The masked robbers did their work very
neatly.

two above named States, and the mana
gers OF Texas and Missouri railroads

cling public and railroad property. II
trains and depots can be- robbed with
comparative ease and safety sucG rob-
berries will rapidly increase in number.
Indeed, the failure OF the authorities TO
adopt effective measures for protectin :
trains against robbers has already re.
suited IN avery great increase OF such
robberies.
II the railroad companies were made
responsible for the losses sustained by
their passengers, or II the States in which
these robberles are committed could be
compelled to MAKE good these losses

an end TO the robberies. Public sent

There has been a great deal Of fault
found with detectives lately, and, that
too, not without reason. PinkertOn's
men have shown contempt for life aud
a disregard for law that has called out
some pretty sharp CRITICISMS from the
press, and in the New York papers re-
Gently there have been some revelations
respecting the practices OF detectives
which are not calculated TO increase the
respect OF the public for them.
Ia our dispatches yes erday 1t was
stated that a Catholic priest, OF Bay
View. Mich. had asked the Governor 10
pardon two boys now confined in the
penitentiary Of that State under i've
years sentence for attempting 10 murder
and rob a man. The ground upon which
the pardon is urged is that the BOYS are
innocent. The priest alleges that the
murderer has confessed the crime TO him.
These boys were convicted on the EVIL
dence OF detectives who testified that
they mad confessed to them. The boys
admitted the confession, but insisted that
they had been whipped and tied up by the
thumbs until they were willing to say
anything they were asked to say. Not
witnstandinx the fact that they proved
an abb by twenty witnesses they were
convicted.
The alleged confession was eXtorted
from the boys apparently by torture.
The detectives we're not so much inter-
ested in getting at the truth as they were
ia fastening the crime upon some one and
earning the reward. IL 1t be true that
the Bay View youths are Innocent, they
have suffer ed great wrong-a wrong tor
which there is no adequate compensation.
II Is natural that Adventures and
characterless men should seek employ
ment in private detective associations.
The kind of work they are required TO do
is not always that which honorable men
like 20 DO. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that there are often reports OF
crooked work by detectives. r0eir aim
is TO make money, and rs success means
employment, they are not at all scrupu-
lous about the means used to accomplish
their ends.
New York and New Jersey are showing
signs Of Impotence Al the presence OF
armed Pinkerton detectives within their
borders. Both States, in all probability,
Will enact laws hostile to them. If the
authorities of any state cannot preserve
the peace and enforce the laws within
its borders it had better ask to BE-
put back into the condition OF a Territory
and let the national government take
care Of it.
OF course there are honest detectives
who are worthy of all the confidence
placed in them. The percentage. how
ever is not Narv larpa

DEFIED HIS BISHOP.
Father Donnelly, Being Dispossessed, Starts
on a Lecturing Tour.

MERCER, Pa, April 20.-Father Donnelly, who
has had charge of the parishes of Mercer and
Greenville, has defied the authority of Bishop
Mullen, of this diocese. and has started on
lecturinc tour. He is delivering discourse en-
titled 'Fifteen Years Behind the Curtain"
which refers to mis- term of service as q priest.
and in 1t he assails the authorities of the church
and the priesthood in violent terms. He is a
graduate Of the Niagara Falls Catholic College.
Fifteen years ago he was assigned to the parish
OF Petroleum Center. While there he disobeyed
the order of the then Bishop of Erie in relation
to his conduct as priest He was silenced by
the bishop and ordered to the Trappist monas
terry at Gethsemane, KY, to do penance. He
obeyed the order, and after doing the penance
was sent to the parish of Sartwel and Duke
Center, in the northern oil field. He was SUBJ
sequently transferred to Mercer and Greenvile.
He was passionately fond of animals of all
kinds, ana recently. on several occasions, an
nounced that he did not believe in future
punishment, but in heaven to which all men
and animals would be transferred after death.
Some of his parishioners were rich. while a
great many were poor. OF the latter great
number were in arrers for pew rents, and few
weeks ago he announced that he would not ad-
minister any of the rites of the church to parish
toner's who remained in arrears. week or so ago
two mem bers of his church being on their death
beds. he was sent for 20 visit them and admin
lister the last sacraments of the church Find
ing that the dying Pensioners we're dein-
quents he refused to visit them. Bishop Mullen
ordered him to perform his functions as a priest.
He refused to obey. The Bishop then sent
Father Adams to visit the dying persons. The
following Sunday Bishop Mullen came to Father
Donnelys parish to administer sacrament in
the church. The parish committee, who were
friends and supporters of the priest, locked the
door and refused to open it to the Bishop. The
latter had the door forced open. He dispos-
sessed Father Donnelly and installed Father
Adams in his place. Then Father Donnelly
started on his lecturing tour.
